It still is not clear to me why the Music and BS threads cannot live in harmony. If you don't like B.S., don't tune in.

I think Spaw, and a few others have the right idea. If the Mudcat, as Max wants it to be, is not to your liking, start a new site that suits your needs. This is Max's site. We refer to it as our community, but we are only visitors.
